OMG y'all I am so excited. I started in the family with an original 3DS XL, and have never owned a member of the original DS line, so I'm thrilled to have sourced a really nice DSi XL for $50! I can't wait to mod it and play it with all of the...

This is my best effort so far: PicoDriveTWL 2.1.0 Sound Test (Alpha build)
For the audio to initialize you need to hold R while loading a game.
Imho, DS mode with sound is unplayable.
DSi mode is honestly palatable but YMMV.
This is AI coded...
Thanks to AI like Gemini and Claude Opus, a person like me who doesn't know anything about coding can add more mappers to PocketNES. Take a look: https://github.com/GamingFanboy365/pocketnes
Edit: now also working on a spinoff titled PocketVT...
@Tomtani1 - you're right! I just checked the code and I don't properly flush the file out until a new file is loaded or you quit the emulator using the 'Quit GimliDS' menu item.
That's my mistake. I've just added the code to correctly flush the...

First...

VERY WIP: https://github.com/TaraHoleInIt/minivmac-dsi
This is a port of the Macintosh emulator Mini vMac to the DS(i).
Unlike the original DS port, this should be full speed with sound on DSi systems.
I have not tested this on the DS...
